The Joiners Arms, Lincoln

I found this little gem of a pub during a day visit to Lincoln. The landlord, John, gave a warm welcome and was more than willing to let me taste the 4 ales that he had on tap - these included Hobgoblin, Snecklifter, Hophead & Banks'. The beers tasted well and were well-kept, to which I settled for Hobgoblin.

I didn't find this pub to be 'clicky' and felt that I didn't have to drink up and leave as the landlord & locals were quite chatty and friendly.

The Joiners has recently opened and are planning evening entertainment including quiz & open-mic nights.

If you're visiting the real ale pubs of Lincoln, add this one to your list, or if you don't fancy the full slog of Motherby Hill or Steep Hill in one go, the Joiners is a 5 min diversion (plus drinking time!)
